A PHYSICAL ann ASTRONOMICAL DESCRIPTION or MAN, 
7 OD, the omnipotent and wife Creator, having made all things out of no- 
— thing, and from acrude and undigefted mafs, according to his will, and by 
his word, brought all things into a decent frame and majeftic ftructure: 
out of a confufed chaos made the heavens and the earth; out of that which wag 
dark and void he created light, he feparated the waters from the earth, and gave 
bounds to the unruly waves; and indued the dry and barren earth with prolific 
virtue, richly adorning it with grafs, herbs, and fruit-trees ; he made the fun, moon, 
and ftars, to divide the light from the darknefs, to enlighten and rule both day and 
night, to be for figns, and todiftinguifh feafons, days, and years; by his word he 
created every living thing that moveth. 
Having thus far proceeded in his fo excellent and admirable rimantin of creas 
tion, he made Man a fummary of the world’s fabric, afmall draught of the divine 
nature : he was made after other creatures, not only as the moft perfect, but as the 
fuperintendant and matter, of all things; created Quod dominetur in pifcis maris, et im 
volucres cali, et in pecudes, et in univerfam terram, atque in omnia reptilia reptantia fuper 
terram: ** To rule over. the fifh in the fea, and over the fowls of the air, and over 
cattle, andover the earth, and over every creeping thing.”
